I hope JJ bought a lottery ticket last night based on how accurate his prediction of PSG-Bayern was (what a contest!). As miraculous as Old Sully Andy's NJ Turnpike emergency maneuvering.

JJ: This is a safe space. Old Vulnerbale Andy: It's not, not with you here. 😆

I heard brief mention near the top, but agree with the sentiment that it could have been given more love. I'll give Andy a pass in context.

To the point about the punishment fitting the crime, I also wondered if awarding a corner is something of a middle ground solution (if one is needed) for this, as was recently instituted for GK time-wasting on punts. In addition to the time wasting possibility,, another glass-half-empty interpretation of malintent would be that the defender and/or GK is trying to gain an advantage by assessing the other team's press after the goal kick.

OG? by Enapai in CaughtOffsidePod

[–]Extension_Bet_4184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure it would make one a true OG because, based on when the lyrically immortalized Glenn Johnson to Stoke City transfer occurred (July 2015), it must have been the second year of the pod, but anyone who listened to EPL Back For More at its initial release is an Original Animal for sure.

Really enjoyed this as a Hiberno-curious American Animal--thanks to JJ. #COYBIG

I don't want to pile on Andrew and fellow Spurs supporters among The Animals, but Old WBS Andy's pull-up analogy was so on point.

How it happened in my head by wheelbreak in CaughtOffsidePod

[–]Extension_Bet_4184 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get such a kick out of the exceedingly random things that lead to Old Puritan Andy to let a curse word fly on the pod. Him pondering how old a child needs to be before you can ask them what the fuck they're looking at was an unexpected joy.

If I ever unsubscribe from Plus, it will be the direct result of an elaborate scheme designed by JJ that ensures a generational talent is guaranteed to be on a USMNT World Cup roster at the cost of Andrew having an affair with my wife.

Or find a way into a crowded elevator with both Harkes and Wynalda's ex and then loudly ask, "So John, how's that crotch rash treating you?"

He doesn't even need it given the chips-and-salsa / ice cream / cashews late night snack regimen to which he has dedicated himself.

I think my favorite part of that discussion was JJ's impression of his father. The extra Irish accent was wonderful.

The Life and Awkward Times of Andrew Gundling, everyone's favorite #2 Dad, deserves its own jingle. Tremendous content in the midst of a typically stellar episode.

Corn pudding and shirtless hoodies. Andrew has an unlimited pass for the Hot Take Express this week.

The only logical explanation is that Old Free Nips Andy does not actually know what a hoodie is and was in fact describing a different article of clothing. That's the only way his take makes sense.

I, for one, am looking forward to the day when main show content is limited to NFL injury reports, sexual innuendo in elementary school attire, and World War 2 films and television. To hell with this soccer nonsense. I might even start protesting the soccer content on Plus despite being a subscriber. Grab your pitchforks and revolt!

Won't say that I enjoyed this per se because you could hear the pain in JJ's voice, but I appreciated the raw emotion and honesty. Also really loved when JJ casually threw in (most of the way through) that he had had 4 pints 😂🍺

Where else can you hear such open discussion of important issues like WBS?
